this dog a good pedigree, Mulla?" asked Mulla Nasrudin's wife.
"Has he? Say, if that dog could talk, he wouldn't speak to either of us," said Mulla Nasrudin.

Mrs. Mulla Nasrudin: "Why, she is the loudest-mouthed woman I ever heard."
Mulla Nasrudin: "Shush, dear, you forget yourself."

"Mulla, dear," said Mrs. Mulla Nasrudin, "such an odd thing happened today. The clock fell off the wall, and if it had fallen a moment sooner, it would have hit mother."
